Welcome to Selection Monday.
Men’s College World Series: The 64-team field on Selection Monday
Tracking the full 64-team field for the NCAA baseball tournament on Selection Monday
Mark Schofield is a former college quarterback and attorney covering the NFL and F1.
Today, the entire Field of 64 will be announced for the men’s college baseball tournament, building up to the Men’s College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska next month. But before eight teams can book tickets to Omaha, the field begins with 16 different regionals, four-team, double-elimination tournaments.
Following the regionals, 16 teams advance to the super regionals, the winners of which head to Omaha for the Men’s College World Series.
While the full field will be unveiled later today, 29 teams have already secured spots in the Field of 64 thanks to winning their conference tournaments. And as we will see in a moment, some of those teams already know where they will begin their tournament journeys.
The other 35 teams in the field will get their invite around 12:00 p.m. Eastern, on Monday.
We’ll be tracking Selection Monday all day, so follow along with us!
